W elcome to the July/August edition of The
West Essex Directory, your local community magazine and business Directory. I was thinking, just the other day. (Luckily, this didn't last too long.) But I
thought that it's a strange thing about my gen-eration - we sit somehow on the cusp of in-vention. It's happening all around us, like snow, and occasionally a flake of the stuff sticks to us.
I sit surrounded by shiny new gadgets, and, as my mental powers grow dimmer, so the gadgets seem to get smarter and smarter each day, as though they drain me of my intellectual powers to feed their shiny chrome, a sort of Dorian Grey in reverse if you will.
My days of imparting nuggets of wisdom
through these letters seem - oh bother - what was I about to say...?
I've clean forgotten what I was on about. But, on the plus side, my new fridge has prom-ised to write the next column. Anyway, it's so much cooler than me.

HAVE FUN LEARNING TO PLAY BRIDGE Ray Green invites you to join the East London Bridge Club. I decided to join one of Ray’s bridge courses to try it for myself. I know a few people who play bridge and find it a stimulating and sociable game. I had also interviewed Ray for the articles in The Chingford Directory for 2011, 2012 and 2013. The article also appeared in The West Essex Directory in 2012 and 2013.
There were about 12 new players when I joined and Ray started us off with games of mini bridge progressing to bridge. I found the lessons were well planned and challenging and Ray gave us lots of mate-rial to follow up each lesson. It was fun learning with others and there was always plenty of support and encouragement from Ray and the other players. This is what Ray said,
“Bridge is a trick taking game of skill and chance played by four players who form two partnerships; the partners sit opposite each other at the table.
Bridge can be a lifelong pursuit and a learning process that never ends. It can be exciting, challeng-ing, frustrating but never boring.
It is a social card game that includes strategy, trust and teamwork. You can develop friendships with others who are learning and already playing bridge. It is also a great way to sharpen your memory and exercise the brain.
Once you have learnt the basics of bridge you are able to practice with friends. The only cost is a cou-ple of packs of cards and the tea and biscuits.
From Monday 20th October I shall be giving eve-ning lessons from 7.30 – 9.30 pm. These will be on every Monday except Christmas and bank holidays.
I am offering a 32-lesson course that will cover all aspects of this interesting game and help you to be ready to play in one of the many local bridge clubs.
Each 2-hour lesson including a tea/coffee and bis-cuit break is £10 per person. You only pay for the lessons you attend and will be given the opportunity to cover missed lessons on a later course. On these lessons you will be partnered with another member of the class. You are of course welcome to join with one or more friends and learn in a relaxing, comfort-able home environment.
Later in this course I also offer supervised bridge play. There is a 2 hour supervised play session on Thursday evenings 7.30-9.30pm for £5 per person.
For those who wish to improve their bridge play I organise intermediate evening lessons on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month from 7.30 – 9.30pm.”
If you are thinking of joining Ray’s course and would like to take advantage of the special beginner’s offer send your cheque for £50 with your name, address, home and mobile phone numbers to Ray at the address below. For more details contact Ray on 020 8281 8376 or go to www.eastlondonbridge.co.uk.
Profile: East London Bridge Club
SPECIAL BEGINNER’S OFFER If you wish to pay in advance for the first five lessons of the course, you will be given the course book (retail price £25) free of charge on the first lesson. Payment to arrive before 10th October. If you wish to take advantage of this offer, please send your cheque for £50 to RAY GREEN 22 Horsley Road Chingford London E4 7HX

W hen I was younger, and my younger brother younger still, we made a startling observation. There was a
stream that we crossed on our way to school. And there was a very similar stream near where Dad worked. It didn’t take Sherlock Holmes to figure out that the two must be linked.
So, one summer holiday in 1964, we set out together with nothing to help us on our way but a tube of Opal Fruits.
Sure enough, the streams were one and the same. We traced it from the bridge near school to the factory where Dad worked.
That evening, we told him of our discovery and wondered whether he might see fit to tell the whole world.
“You have done well, my sons,” he said. “But the truth is that mankind has long known of this stretch of water insofar as there is a road beside it. However,” and he turned to my brother, “I have great hopes that you will someday be a great explorer, possibly in the field of mathematics. And as for you, David… well… if you get lucky, and if they drop their standards a lot, you may get a year or two in a post in a library.”
The long summer passed slowly by in games of cricket and paddling pools. My young brother, who was 6, was just mastering logarithms. I was
more concerned with building a castle of mud in our garden as a possible defence against invading Apaches.
Looking back now, the murky mists of memory may muddle the recollection. In fact, I believe that we took Fruittellas with us that day and not Opal Fruits at all. Nevertheless, I clearly see my brother coming to Dad and saying “Father, I think that the total length of the river divided by its distance as the crow flies is about 3.14.”
“Young younger,” he said, “It is an amazing fact that all rivers obey this rule. And the ratio to which you refer is known by the Greek letter pi. And by the way, David, you seem to have spat-tered mud over your baby sister again.”
I pretended to get on with the castle, but eavesdropped as Dad explained to my brother.
Defined as the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, pi crops up in the strangest ways in the natural world. Rivers have a property called the ‘meandering ratio’ – that is, the ratio of its actual length to its distance as the crow flies. This amazed Einstein, who explained, by using fluid dynamics, that rivers have a tendency to bend. But then a curve causes the outside of the curve to run faster and cause erosion, thereby forming a sharper bend. This makes the river loop back in the opposite direction. Because the shapes of loops are defined by pi, the meandering ratio of all rivers averages out at pi.
Pi, or π, is an irrational number. That is to say, it is a seemingly random series of numbers going

on forever. It has been calculated to over a trillion decimal places. You can listen to it being read out, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
Humans have always been intrigued by the maths of circles. A tablet from Baby-lon in about 1800B.C. shows an early attempt at the calculation of pi. In 250B.C. the Greek mathe-matician Archimedes used hexagons inside circles in a more scientific approach. In 1424, the Persian astrono-mer Jamshid al-Kashi used a more complex shape and calculated pi to 16 places, a standard that was used for the next 2 centuries. The Greek letter π was first used in 1706. But the advent of the computer has lead to closer and closer calculations of its exact value. Why do we need to do this? Well, between you and me, and please don’t tell my brother this, we kinda don’t. But knowing the rough value of pi is
vital in all sorts of fields, from thermodynamics to aviation. But a trillion digits? Really?
Well, the factory has closed down and the river become quite dry, but pi hasn’t changed. And as to the rest of the story – my brother went on to fulfil his goal as a mathematician, but I never com-pleted that castle of mud.

A 90-year-old woman is warning people not to become victims of a prize draw scam after she reported one to Essex Trading
Standards. The Essex woman received a letter claiming she
had won one of 6,000 cash prizes, ranging from £25 to £20,000. All she had to do was to ring a pre-mium-rate number and listen out for her ID code to find out how much she had won and how to claim it.
Although she suspected the letter was a scam, she rang the claim number, only to find that her “winning” ID code was not listed. She then rang Essex Trading Standards to report the scam.
“I knew it was a scam, but I wanted to sort it out for my peace of mind. The claim line went through a long rigmarole – and I was paying for their spiel – only to be told that I was unsuccessful,” said the woman.
“I rang Trading Standards to warn them about the scam. They were very helpful and said if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is.”
Since reporting the scam, she has received an-other letter from the same company, but she tore it up and threw it away straightaway.
“I want to warn other people not to fall victim to these scams. There are so many about and some people end up losing so much money. You’ve got to be so wary of everything.”
Trading Standards deals with many similar scams all year round, including fraudsters trying to pass themselves off as the National Lottery.
Cllr Roger Walters, Essex County Council Cabi-net Member for Waste, Recycling and Trading Stan-dards, said: “Residents should never respond to mailings relating to prize draws, lotteries, or other products or services which requests personal infor-mation, or money for administration fees.
“Unfortunately we have dealt with cases where elderly people have lost money by repeatedly reply-ing to such scams. I would ask neighbours, friends and families to watch out for neighbours or rela-tives who are receiving large amounts of this scam mail.”
Warning: don’t become a scam victim
If any resident is concerned that they may have responded to a scam or is worried about a friend or relative they can call the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline on 08454 040 506.
